Easy Post Submission – Frontend Posting, Guest Publishing & Submit Content for WordPress

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 59% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 5K+ in roughly 123 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   The plugin works fine, but the fact that you cant do something so simple such as translate the text, makes it useless. I hope you update this as it will make it a solid plugin. Reply and fix and i will naturally update my rating 🙂

   This plugin makes it super easy to create forms for submitting posts without having to log in to the WordPress dashboard. There are plenty of customization options in the admin panel, but everything is clearly explained and easy to use. Setting it up is a breeze, even if you’re not a tech expert. Thank you so much! Your plugin solved my problem perfectly, especially as a beginner.

   It works really well for frontend posting, fast and lightweight too. If you need users or guests to submit content without touching the dashboard, it’s spot-on and does the trick nicely. Though the design’s simple, I think it’s still worth trying.
